Sew Me! Sewing Basics: Simple Techniques and Projects for First-Time Sewers (Design Originals) Beginner-Friendly Easy-to-Follow Directions to Learn as You Sew, from Sewing Seams to Installing Zippers

Learning and actually improving! Great tips and helpful. I have this alongside Martha Stewart book on sewing. Both just as helpful. Love it.

What I like about this book is the attention to detail for the beginner. Would purchase again - glad I did!

We haven’t had a chance to do anything yet. But I’m sure it will be very helpful

It’s was a gift for my 12 yr old granddaughter but I thumbed through it and it looks nice.

Satisfied

I haven't dusted off my sewing machine in a very long time, but this helpful guide eased me right back in and got me excited about sewing all over again! Great job, thank you Miss Choly!!!

Ok for a beginner.

I bought this for my granddaughter as a 'first' sewing book. I like the balance between teaching the basics as well as having nice starter projects that don't 'dumb down' sewing for kids. Clear pictures, nice instruction and an easy read.After looking at a number of sewing books, I thought this was the most appropriate for a beginner without being overwhelming. Anyone could pick this up, learn the basics and start with the simple (but nice) projects and feel like they accomplished a lot in a little time. The projects start with basic skills (Your First Seam) and build from there, and are appropriate for kids without being juvenile. The book, however, is more focused on girls rather than being gender agnostic. The book also enables the development of self-confidence; I love the sections on Dealing With Mistakes, safety, etc.If someone progresses through this book, they will have a great set of basic skills that will enable them to create much more complicated projects.
